Jesus Walking on Water Echoes the Old Testament

June 4, 2025 By Peter Krol

What is going on when Jesus walks on the water in Mark 6:45-52? What is Jesus revealing about his identity?

Brandon D. Crowe explains the many Old Testament connections that show Mark’s purpose in recounting this event. Crowe shows that Mark uses language the same way many Old Testament passages use language to describe the coming of God himself to deliver his people.

Jesus is the eternal “I am” who has become incarnate and leads his people in a new exodus toward the peace of the true promised land. Just as he was with his disciples 2,000 years ago to guide and protect them, he continues to be with us today. Despite the opposition we face in this world, his purposes will prevail and the salvation he has accomplished for his people is secure.
